[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Create portion standards. Dishes with current portion descriptions: [DISHES]. Tools I have (scoops, scales, ladles, plates): [TOOLS]. Cost issues or complaints: [ISSUES].

Write a specification for each dish: portion weight or volume, tool to use, plating guide, and photo description. Provide a training plan for kitchen staff, a spot-check routine with a log, and a method for weighing sample plates to calculate variance. Include a policy for adjusting portions fairly when prices change, and a note on communicating changes to guests honestly. Remind me to check food labelling or portion rules for menus [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Add a quick reference card layout.

Also add a worked example for one dish with an invented 180 gram portion and its plate cost, and a plan for refreshing training every quarter or when staff change.

No guarantees about sales or profit. Keep claims honest, use only my numbers, and tag advertising, pricing and consumer rules [VERIFY] with [JURISDICTION].
